I'm glad to know my dogs are not the only ones who would stand and sniff an area for 20 minutes! I always think they are stalling (probably a half-truth) but find when I am patient with them, even if we haven't walked a lot and they've just sniffed out their surroundings...they seem more tired than if we'd booked it the whole way. Kinda like, "This is my walk, Mom!"

I might have to swipe this idea - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? I was thinking more of "Fletcher Friday". Fletcher has been up to all kinds of basset weirdness and I feel the need to document it.

We are guilty of usually taking the 'usual' route with Dudley...but it's so fun to take him to places he hasn't been before (even if it slows down our walks due to the 'must sniff and pee on everything' factor). Have a great weekend!

I totally agree it's important to switch things up for them, and tire out their sniffers...ha! We love to walk the pups around the ponds in our neighborhood. They don't mess with the ducks too much, and I think they are slightly afraid of the geese, but they love to chase the bullfrogs that jump into the pond. Abby has actually jumped into the pond to go after them. Crazy dogs! Hope Floyd is having a great weekend!
